Talk:The Box of a Thousand Demons

Shady page editing
Isn't the subject of the page supposed to ask the editor for such changes, and not make them by themselves? Shiba (talk) 15:38, 22 March 2023 (CDT)


 * Shady? I don't think so. The rule here is usually that people don't create their own pages for themselves (as in, if I'm Endless, I shouldn't be creating the Endless page). However, edits are, as far as I know, not policed and it is probably even better that someone close to a page topic edits them, since they will probably know more about the project and contribute with further info. Plus, the contribution here does nothing shady and expands on the description; that is a welcomed edit in my book. Also, a receipt picture, uploaded to the wiki database, when there's already a history log, really? That was unnecessary. - Endless01 (talk) 15:43, 22 March 2023 (CDT)

That would be fine, if the author wasn't the only one saying such things about her WAD. (https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/130465-the-box-of-a-thousand-demons-32-boom-maps-by-thelokk-on-idgames/?tab=) lol. Shiba (talk) 15:52, 22 March 2023 (CDT)


 * It is mild NPOV, and I have corrected it. The deliberate misgendering in your post, which I have removed, is worse in my eyes so maybe don't throw stones if you're going to live in a glass house. --Quasar (talk) 16:49, 22 March 2023 (CDT)

The misgendering was by accident, i didn't feel like changing it throughfully. Also, what does that have to do with the topic of the discussion? 178.88.134.244 17:23, 22 March 2023 (CDT)

1) I was asked by a wiki editor themselves to add a few words about the megawad's style, inspiration and intended audiences. Personally, 'noted' is different than 'notable' and does not constitute self-aggrandizing in my eyes, but I can live with the edit as it's been done by a more experienced editor. Also note that both my mapper wiki entry, and megawad entry were created by others than me in the first place - I merely filled them in. 2) Shiba, do you intend to passive-aggressively hound me down here as well, just like you do on Doomworld and Doomer Boards? getting on my case for no reason whatsoever? it's getting very annoying and borderline stalkerish. Please stop. Thelokk (talk) 17:47, 22 March 2023 (CDT)

Could've said that right away. 178.88.134.244 21:29, 22 March 2023 (CDT)
 * What in the world? *I* was the one who asked for those lines to be added, for the simple reason that it's nice to have a brief and concise description of the wad beyond just "it has X amount of maps and was released on Y/YY/YYYY". And this is all viewable on Thelokk's talk page. This is absolutely no different from the descriptions found in Fragport or Congestion 1024 or countless other WADs - including some that, it could be cynically argued, are more self-aggrandizing than anything written here, and for which nobody has ever complained before. It is extremely regrettable for me that such wild accusations would fly against someone else over something I requested, but from my understanding of what has been posted here, this stems from harassment outside the wiki, and so I would like to kindly remind Shiba that the wiki is meant to be a neutral place and is not where anyone is supposed to follow up on their vendettas, and even if that weren't at play here, before making accusations it'd pay to double check, triple check and even quadruple check the talk pages and edit history. --Dynamo128 (talk) 02:35, 23 March 2023 (CDT)


 * Agreed, and I will be keeping my eyes on this very closely. --Quasar (talk) 03:37, 23 March 2023 (CDT)
